You mean utter anarchy and a dangerously stratified society? Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 23/01/2011 07:24:48 AM
Seanchan is in utter ruin because the empire is so precariously ruled. It's a horrible totalitarian government that makes the Westland nations look positively benevolent by comparison.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Seanchan Takeover of Randland Mordie01 - 22/01/2011 11:25:36 PM 1980 Views
I would be mostly okay with it if they abolished slavery first Deadsy - 23/01/2011 12:19:48 AM 967 Views
Hopefully the Dragon's Peace (not the one Avi saw the effects of) those concerns. *NM* Japhy - 23/01/2011 03:21:04 AM 458 Views

The situation in Seanchan isn't that unique ranagrande - 23/01/2011 07:49:28 AM 762 Views
Except with continous rebellion. Chas - 23/01/2011 12:13:17 PM 737 Views
That's to be expected. ranagrande - 23/01/2011 12:56:07 PM 736 Views
there's tons of problems there, but 20+ leaders/royals killed? Disaster anywhere... *NM* newyorkersedai - 23/01/2011 11:38:57 AM 376 Views
Funny; Caemlyn's succession crises aren't nearly as bad. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/01/2011 11:00:45 PM 375 Views
Rand deserves some credit, he did get involved early and held the Lion Throne for Elayne. *NM* Libby - 24/01/2011 08:47:42 AM 401 Views
The anarchy is what happens in the absence of Seanchan power. Cannoli - 27/01/2011 01:10:56 PM 706 Views
Yes. That is a flaw of Seanchan governance. Ghavrel - 28/01/2011 01:54:00 AM 628 Views
It's not the Empire's fault, and that flaw is not being duplicated in the wetlands Cannoli - 28/01/2011 11:24:00 PM 886 Views

It's like you don't even read anything when you post. My posts, the books themselves... Cannoli - 02/02/2011 06:41:10 PM 771 Views
They treat channelers like DOGS! so, No. *NM* Evil_Monkey - 23/01/2011 07:56:22 AM 384 Views
I treat my dog better *NM* Voscaia Sedai - 23/01/2011 10:28:08 AM 369 Views
Good point. *NM* Evil_Monkey - 24/01/2011 01:47:29 AM 394 Views
Dogs never broke the world or created Shadowspawn, so they have it coming *NM* Cannoli - 27/01/2011 01:07:32 PM 355 Views
The Pattern certainly has some plan or purpose for the Seanchan. Libby - 23/01/2011 10:59:33 AM 820 Views
That's what's scary. In many ways, the Seanchan embody the goals of the Pattern Lord Haart - 23/01/2011 11:41:35 PM 679 Views
If we're going to personify things, we should be personifying the Wheel, not the Pattern. Ghavrel - 24/01/2011 12:13:49 AM 676 Views
I think it's interesting Libby - 24/01/2011 09:23:40 AM 693 Views

a) most of that is your own extrapolation, not shown in the text moratcorlm - 23/01/2011 04:56:14 PM 719 Views

"We" don't know of the One Power existing, so obviously it disappears. *NM* Deadsy - 26/01/2011 12:14:19 AM 379 Views
Lack of knowledge doesn't mean the One Power vanishes or is destroyed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/01/2011 04:03:22 PM 607 Views
If OP still existed, you'd still have sparkers even "today". *NM* Myrdhyn - 26/01/2011 06:34:50 PM 358 Views
Not exactly; genetics are more complicated. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/01/2011 09:48:48 PM 658 Views
